The activists have frequently protested in front of the Institute and here protest letters from all over Switzerland are pinned to the fence surrounding the area and activists are holding signs saying "Stop Gentech Weizen" or translated: "Stop GMO Wheat".In original language:Gentechnik-Aktion ETH Beruf in LindauWiderstand gegen die ETH-Gentech-Zwängerei: Heute haben Greenpeace-AktivistInnen unterstützt von Bauern auf dem zur Aussaat von Gentech-Weizen vorbereiteten ETH-Versuchsfeld in Lindau einen Misthaufen aufgebaut. Von diesem kräht ein künstlicher Hahn die Worte: «Gentech-Weize z’Lindau? Lönd doch de Mischt!» Einige AktivistInnen halten «Stopp Gentech-Weizen»-Protestschilder hoch, andere hängen Protestschreiben aus der ganzen Schweiz an den Zaun, der das Gelände umgibt.In einer Nacht- und Nebelaktion hat die ETH am Wochenende auf dem Versuchsfeld mit ersten Arbeiten für die Gentech-Aussaat begonnen. Dies obwohl noch immer eine Beschwerde von AnwohnerInnen, Bauern, Greenpeace und anderen Umweltorganisationen hängig ist.Locations:Alpine Countries-Europe-Lindau-SwitzerlandDate:6 Mar, 2003Credit:© Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David AdairMaximum size:1929px X 2892pxRestrictions:Images ok for use in all Greenpeace campaigns, products and brochures.

Some activists hold signs reading "Stop GM Wheat", others are hanging letters of protest from all over Switzerland on the fence that surrounds the site.Last weekend initial work was carried out by the ETH on the test field. This was done even though a legal complaint from residents, farmers, Greenpeace and other environmental organizations, is still pending.
